You know what Arch Wiki says, no partial updates

Always a good time until your repo mirror hasn't fully synced everything so you get updated Nvidia driver but an older kernel so your video drivers don't load.

That was a fun hour until I commented out a few mirrors and tried a different one.

Yay -Syyu is a full update isn't it?

Yes

Well, I try to understand why something is included. I've run arch for years (BTW), though my current computers are running Fedora and Debian. I won't say I know everything about Linux or even installing it or booting it, but I do know more than I would if I just followed step by step.

It's the same for me but I didn't always know that much about linux.
